Deployment of a Blazor WASM app from DevOps piepline results in path site/wwwroot/wwwroot/

Question

Im building and deploying a .Net 5 Blazor WASM app from Azure Devops with the following pipeline to an Azure Web App, but the deployment adds an additional wwwroot directory inside the wwwroot directory, because the zip files get's extracted to the wwwroot directory instead of the site directory. The web.config resides in the top wwwroot directory, so simply changing the virtual path '/' to 'site/wwwroot/wwwroot' isn't an option. The result is that static files within e.g. wwwroot/css are not found.

I don't want to do any manual changes to the generated files and I'm wondering how that could be fixed, either by a different deployment style in DevOps, or by some setting I'm not aware of. Any help much appreciated.
